Use these 5 easy prompts to protect your health and privacy\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You have a health question. But you don\u2019t want to go through the time and trouble of a doctor visit. It\u2019s not an emergency. And you don\u2019t feel like doing a telehealth visit. Of course! Why not ask AI? It\u2019s free, it\u2019s easy and you can do it right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 1 in 3 adults use AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude for health advice. But are they risking their health and privacy? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The smart, safe way to use AI tools is to treat them like a helper for research. They cannot and should not replace the care you get from your doctor. These\u202ffive easy prompts from the American Medical Association (AMA) can help you get the most of your AI chat about your health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Explore\u00a0what may be the problem<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cI have these symptoms [description]. What are common causes, how do they differ and what details would help narrow them down?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Ask for simple\u00a0answers<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cExplain this to me in simple words: [medical term, doctor\u2019s diagnosis or instructions]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Add\u00a0details that matter<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \u201cGiven my situation [my age and gender, lifestyle, goals, etc.] what do I need to know?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Know your\u00a0options<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          \u201cWhat are the different ways to treat [diagnosis name] and what are the benefits, risks and side effects of each?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Prepare for your visit<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWhat questions should I ask my doctor to better understand this situation?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Remember, AI is not really \u201cthinking\u201d about your health. That\u2019s your doctor\u2019s job. AI can only gather and organize information you give it, plus what it finds online. Here\u2019s what the AMA suggests people using AI keep in mind: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • AI\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0diagnose or know your full medical history.\u202f\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • AI may\u00a0use information that is\u00a0incomplete,\u00a0outdated\u00a0or\u00a0wrong.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Beware:\u00a0AI can sound\u00a0sure of itself,\u00a0even when\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0wrong.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Your results depend on how you ask\u00a0your questions.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              AI will not have all the information you need or ask all the necessary questions for you to make decisions about your health. A doctor will know what questions to ask to get the full picture, including medications, health history and allergies. Use it as a starting point or to help, but always talk to a doctor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Always protect your health information when using AI. The internet is not secure. Do not share your name, address or other private details. Never use AI for emergencies, diagnosis or treatment decisions. They should not replace your doctor. If you have sudden or serious symptoms, call 911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
